Galtiberg
The descent from Titlis to Engelberg via the Galtiberg Glacier is the longest, most alpine and most difficult descent in the Titlis area. It is one of the longest variant descents in the Alps. The experience of skiing below the steep Titlis north face is impressive but only reserved for very skilled freeriders.
Notes
- Descent from 3020m above sea level to 1020m above sea level.
- Alpine descent! The "Traverse" is dangerous and extends over a cliff with high risk.
- The "Graben" couloir is a dead end!
- It is strongly recommended to hire a mountain guide.
